With only 50 pieces, this manual-winding tourbillon masterpiece showcases daring design and technical mastery, perfect for men and women celebrating bold individuality and Swiss craftsmanship.

Overview

The RM 66 is a striking take on haute horlogerie featuring a flying tourbillon at 12 o’clock and an expressive red‑gold skeletal hand performing the “devil horns” gesture, emblematic of rock culture. Cased in curved Carbon TPT® and Grade 5 titanium with red‑gold accents, it measures 42.7 × 49.94 mm and stands 16.15 mm tall creating a powerful wearable art form.

Design and Craftsmanship

Fashioned from layered Carbon TPT® bezel and caseback with a Grade 5 titanium caseband set with 5N red-gold pyramid studs, the RM 66 channels a rebellious rock‑and‑roll spirit. Its iconic skeleton hand, crafted in 5N red gold by master engraver Olivier Vaucher, grips the floating movement a symbol of defiance rooted in craft.

Movement and Performance

Powered by the Caliber RM66 manual-winding tourbillon, the RM 66 operates at 3 Hz and delivers a 72-hour power reserve via a fast‑rotating barrel at 6 o’clock . The flying tourbillon, fixed only at one end for visual weightlessness, and the variable‑inertia balance offer superior precision and shock resilience.

Features and Complications

This Swiss skeleton watch focuses on pure spectacle hours, minutes, and the suspended tourbillon. Guitar-plectrum lumed hour markers embrace the rock ethos, while a torque‑limiting spider crown and a skull emblem honor Richard Mille’s non‑conformist heritage. Water-resistant to 50 m, it pairs avant-garde style with daily wearability.
